Electrons in layered van der Waals materials possess a layer pseudospin characterizing their wave-function distribution among layers. In twisted structures, this pseudospin forms nontrivial textures, leading to intriguing phenomena such as…
We determine the role of the fluctuation-induced Casimir force acting between a membrane of cylindrical shape and a bottom electrode in microelectromechanical capacitive switches. For this purpose, the Casimir force is computed taking into…
We investigate extractable work storage in a capacitively coupled double quantum dot (DQD) quantum battery (QB) subjected to experimentally motivated detuning charge noise. The battery is modeled as two interacting charge qubits with an…
We develop and characterize scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) capabilities within a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to investigate the effective lateral coherence of the electron beam (e-beam) in the specimen plane. Using…
Optically addressable valley degrees of freedom in transition-metal dichalcogenide heterostructures provide a powerful platform for valleytronic and quantum-optical functionalities. In moir\'e superlattices, interlayer excitons inherit…
We report the design and experimental demonstration of an open nanophononic cavity based on a hybrid oxide superlattice composed of SrTiO$_3$ (STO) and YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ (YBCO), combined with a metallic Ni transducer for coherent…
Electron spin resonance in scanning tunneling microscopy enabled the study of electronic transitions of magnetic impurities on surfaces at the atomic scale. This ESR-STM technique allows to spectroscopically probe and coherently manipulate…
The integer topological charge of a magnetic skyrmion is the standard emblem of topological protection. We ask what happens to that protection when the magnet is made non-Hermitian, with balanced gain and loss or a PT-symmetric anisotropy.…
We predict a mechanism for the non-Newtonian behavior of a two-dimensional (2D) electron fluid due to the local Joule heating of electrons. Within this mechanism, the electron shear viscosity is a non-monotonic function of the velocity…
The simple electrostatic picture of a trion is that of an excess charge inducing an exciton polarization and binding closer (farther) to the hole (electron) side of it. Trion formation can be forbidden when such spontaneous rearrangement of…
We systematically investigate multiphoton absorption as a polarization-resolved nonlinear optical probe of planar altermagnets (ALMs). We show that the angular harmonic of the altermagnetic spin splitting fixes the lowest optical absorption…
We describe apparatus and experimental procedures for high stability precision measurements of levitated nanoscale particles confined in an ion trap in high vacuum. We discuss methods for particle generation and collection using…
Electron doped rhombohedral multilayer graphene at high displacement field features an exceptionally flat band minimum with near-ideal quantum geometry. Experiments in this regime observe the formation of a 'quarter metal,' in which the…
A differential phase shift of a low-power spin wave (SW) induced by a high-power pumping wave co-propagating at different frequencies in perpendicularly magnetized magnetic films has been studied. We find that this effect for forward volume…
The manipulation of single spins through spin-polarized tunneling opens new routes for quantum control at the atomic scale. We present a theoretical framework describing spin-transfer, spin torques and spin resonance in molecular quantum…
Understanding the electronic coupling and energy flow across layered two-dimensional heterostructures (HSs) is crucial to the exploitation of carrier and phonon transports as well as thermal management in next-generation optoelectronic…
Disorder-induced localization of electrons and electron-electron interaction are among the most fundamental problems in condensed matter physics. In two-dimensional electron systems, extensive studies have led to the emergence of a scaling…
In material systems with slab geometry, the surface contribution to physical responses is commonly expected to diminish rapidly with increasing thickness, giving way to the bulk response. Here, we show that this conventional wisdom is…
We present a theoretical investigation of the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the triangular spin-1/2 cluster with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, described by a spin-1/2 Heisenberg Hamiltonian with antisymmetric exchange…
A 75 nm-thick Fe0.5Pt0.5 film is a ferromagnetic metal showing striped magnetic domains in remanence at room temperature. The magnetoresistance is characterized by varying the external temperature and the in-plane magnetic field intensity,…
